 Hey everybody welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review Hey today, we're gonna look at the new avant-garde 2017 deck from United Cardis and the edgy brothers. Alright, so what's the deal with this deck? First of all United Cardis if you're not familiar with that already. It is a forum. It's a forum for card collectors People that just like to do magic with cars people that like to do flourishing If you're not a member of United Cardis already, I would definitely head on down there and become a member today It's a fun group of people. It's a great place to hang out and talk about cards Second this was a Kickstarter. Of course, it was successfully funded and these are the cards and this is also Another year in addition. So you every year United Cardis puts out another one of these decks You might remember that their first Deck that Randy Butterfield put out that's still one of my very favorite decks of all time So it's definitely cool to see the past years and how United Cardis has put out some of these really cool decks. This one This one is produced from the edgy brothers and they were the artists behind it As you can tell from the tuck case and of course the name The theme of this deck is that it is inspired by avant-garde. It is a artistic Movement along with Art Deco has very Art Nouveau elements and so as you can see wrapped around this tuck Just the beautiful blue and silver foil that isn't black matte That's actually kind of almost a black gloss the tuck case is made out of a soft touch 300 GSM black art paper and it does have two foils there both blue and silver So it's a really Super gorgeous tuck case across the front does say edgy brothers United Cardis avant-garde 2017 playing cards one side says designed by the edgy brothers and the other side says United Cardis 2017 the bottom has some ad copy about the expert playing card company and the top says poker and Edgy brothers the back design of course is the back design of the cards and the tongue flap has a simple eb For edgy brothers this deck was originally released in both green and blue and that is pretty much it for the Tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards. These cards come to us from the expert playing card company on their master finish And they do have a gold metallic ink. They are soft to the touch thin cards, but stiff They are a stiffer card, but thin so thin and stiff if you like that kind of thing Everybody wants to know how these cards feel and how they handle best thing I can do is measure them for you I can measure them with a caliper and then give you a better idea Compare them against other decks that you've previously held or owned when I stick these into a caliper Use ten of them as my standard it comes to 2.76 2.76 like I was saying earlier is thin Actually as thin as some of the crushed dock decks that bicycles been putting out. So yeah It's the same thickness as the Roadhouse deck the dapper deck the expert put out the Murphy's signature knock deck And of course the Knights deck the back design is a beautiful avant-garde image that has a medium-sized to medium-sized to thin Poker border the blue and gold tones I think they radiate a coolness that I think fits the design really well Especially when if you juxtapose that with the detail of the card back and the tux you got kind of a flower Image or a mandala there in the center with some outgoing concentric circles and then some beautiful framework to cap it all off This deck you're gonna get two original jokers. It is a female jester or joker looking image She is juggling and she is Colored in one joker and then black and white in the other the pips and indicee cards are all going to be completely custom So every single card in this deck completely custom. You got a big huge bold Indices up on the corner big fat font pips and then there's a tiny Outline that goes around each of the center pips also in this deck you're going to get gorgeous Courts the court cards in this are absolutely stunning. You'll notice that the colors Match the deck. So these blues soft greens and silvers are really going to match the overall theme of this everything that's been completely custom Not so much that the characters aren't holding the same weapons dressed Similarly, you still have the one eyed kings one eyed jacks Suicide king like you normally would but just some really super gorgeous artwork from the edgy brothers Your ace of spades has a giant blue center pip spade there That has the same image that you see on the back design of the cards It does have a beautiful font up in the corner and it does say edgy brothers in green all on guard united card is 2017 fifth annual deck And that being it is the fifth annual deck if you do like this Deck design, I would encourage you to go back and look at the previous four generations You might want to add those to your collection as well.
